New STATGRAPHICS User Community Forum Launched

WARRENTON, Va., Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- StatPoint Technologies, Inc., the developer of the STATGRAPHICS line of leading statistical tools used in data analysis across the spectrum of business management, manufacturing and scientific research since 1982, has launched a free STATGRAPHICS User Community Forum (http://statgraphics.invisionzone.com).

This new online resource enables current and potential users of STATGRAPHICS statistical software to directly interact with each other, with the software developers, and with the worldwide network of international resellers who support STATGRAPHICS in their regions.

"Our goal is to build a community of Statgraphics users who can help one another and contribute to the ongoing evolution of the software," according to StatPoint Technologies President Caroline Chopek. "We invite everyone to join the forum and share your thoughts, your suggestions, and some of the creative and innovative uses you have found for Statgraphics." Commenting on today's business environment, she continued, "In challenging times, it is especially important to identify and exploit every opportunity for savings, for quality improvement and for driving efficiencies. Statgraphics provides insight and analysis of data that is crucial to all such efforts." Among the topics the community will explore is the Six Sigma for the Rest of Us concept. It offers an incremental approach to creating a Six Sigma program that should work for any organization. The forum is fully moderated to ensure a professional and spam-free environment.

Through November 30, StatPoint Technologies will be offering promotions ranging from gift cards to discounts on the newly released Statgraphics Centurion 16.1. Discounts will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, to those forum members who first contact StatPoint to purchase a single-user copy of Statgraphics. Join the forum and visit the Bulletin Board section for more details.

"We envision the forum as a place where Statgraphics users and others interested in learning more about our data analysis tools can discuss statistics and the many uses of the software," said Forum Administrator Mike Foley. "A variety of individual forum sites are available for discussing everything from the basics of using Statgraphics to specific topics including Six Sigma. Input from the community will be used to expand the forum."

The STATGRAPHICS line of statistical software includes Statgraphics Centurion XVI, Statgraphics Mobile, Statgraphics Online, a web based statistical program, Statgraphics.Net, statistical procedures called by web applications, and Statbeans, a Java library of statistical procedures. Products are used in quality initiatives, R&D, operations and business and financial management by Fortune 1000 corporations, organizations and governments, worldwide. "STATGRAPHICS solutions meet today's tight budgetary constraints and do not require an advanced degree in statistics to successfully implement. Our clients improve their products, processes and profit margins using our software products to make improved, data driven decisions," said Ms. Chopek.
